Use HTS 6109 as a planning start for cotton T-shirts, then verify classification, origin, duty, textile rules, freight, and margin before importing.
Cotton T-shirts often start in HTS heading 6109, but the exact duty depends on fiber content, knit construction, gender or size rules, origin, and any special program or trade remedy. Use the calculator to model landed cost, then preserve source links and broker questions before pricing inventory.
Exact subheading matters more than the broad heading.
Country of origin and preference eligibility can be fact-specific.
Do not price from FOB cost alone.
Save fiber content, knit or crocheted construction, garment type, size range, origin, supplier documents, HTS candidate, base duty source, and freight assumptions.
A low supplier price can hide duty, freight, inspection, packaging, marketplace fees, returns, and markdown risk. The landed-cost model should show the unit price needed to preserve the target margin.
Ask whether the HTS candidate is complete, whether textile origin rules are satisfied, whether any preference program is claimed, and whether quota or special documentation applies.

No. 6109 is a heading. The full HTS subheading, origin, and any preference or quota questions still need review.
No. It can preserve the planning estimate and source trail, but classification should be verified with official sources and a qualified broker.
Model goods value, duty, freight, insurance, fees, unit count, target margin, and any special review assumptions.
